Schadenfreude New Year Sake and Neck Snake

Ryukyu is celebrating the new year with the Okinawa New Year Festival!

Some sake for celebrating this upcoming Year of the Snake, with your choice of 5 labels featuring lucky rakes decorated with good luck charms, that match sake barrel labels from the past few years.  Drink that sake out of a janome ("snake eye") tasting cup, so named for the snake eye circles design inside the cup to check the quality of your sake.  Bottles that will give out sake to your guests are included.

Schadenfreude Kagami Hebi and Sake Barrels

Happy year of the snake!  Japonica is celebrating the new year, and a snake has taken the place of the mochi in my kagami mochi 鏡鼠 this year.  The snake comes in or out of the tray, including a tray with a raised board underneath to show off the snake more (she's short!), wrapped around an orange, the offering tray 三方 and paper, together and separately are also included, 1 LI each piece.

And a new set of 菰樽/飾り樽 sake barrels decorated for the new year, with a maneki neko and a snake version, a kumade (rake decorated with lucky symbols to rake in luck) in normal and snake version, zodiac clay bell, and a takehebi (a traditional bamboo snake of Toshigi Prefecture).  Stacks and single barrels, 1 to 2 LI each at about a standard 4-to 72 liter size of about .65 meters tall barrel, with extra shading options to choose from if you are picky in how you stack!  (There are versions of top and side shadow boxed so you can stack them on top of each other or next to each other and keep the shading they have in the particular stacks also.)  HUD texture all to your desires- set them all the same, choose individual labels to texture to exactly what you want, or let it randomize them for you with the mix button.  You can also mix HUDs from other sake barrel sets for more options, even in the same stack.

Sadly, this is the final round of Japonica, but 10 years is a good run!  I would love it if it comes back some day- it's one of my favourite events in SL- but for now, let's send it off with a grand celebration!

At Japonica, open December 25 at 8am SLT - January 21 at 8am SLT.

Schadenfreude Crackle Incense Tray

Burn some incense while you explore the charts at this Vintage Astrology Collabor88.  A crackle finish tray to hold your stick incense while it burns- each stick will burn down for one hour, dropping ash in the tray as it burns down to keep it tidy.  Touch it to start it burning from unlit, to pause it at a particular length, to restart it burning from that length, and to replace the incense with a new stick.  Texture change: 10 colors of cracked ceramic and 7 scents of incense to choose from.  Scale it up and it'll still work, the smoke will adjust to fit (note: it's best to scale it while unlit and THEN light it!  It may not burn correctly the first time otherwise).

PBR and non- take your pick, PBR choices include fallbacks.  PBR incense has a little bit of an edge as it burns a little brighter on the edge!

At Collabor88, November 8 - December 6.

Schadenfreude Curious Jack o' Lanterns

And more pumpkins to be found at Collabor88!  8 faces carved into pumpkins, each separate with the naturals option of 16 pumpkin options, mostly shades of oranges with a couple of speckled squashes, plus 10 shades of stems, and flames in 2 texture styles to light up the insides (a more realistic candle flame, and a fancier option).  The uberpack of all 8 also includes a lot more pumpkin options! in weirdo colors of ghost pumpkins, blue pumpkins, pastels, neons, desaturateds, dark and moodys, and a few pastel ombres; plus 5 colors of flame and light to light up your pumpkins, each in both flame options.  Find a treat bucket there now too- there are 13 to collect at events I'm currently in, in the elephant on the dresser, for group members of a few groups, and a few other places around.  Grab one and check the included notecard for all the locations!

The jack o' lanterns all light up with projector lights of their face, and also include non projector options that don't cast light but still "light" up.  (With the introduction of PBR, projection lights are becoming less optional and more always on- but they can still be too much for your environment and you may not want light cast, just the flame on and off and glow.)  Light is also editable on all- set inside tint (note: PBR and non PBR tint in different places, and that will not be carried over!) and glowing emissive color tint, flame tint, glow amounts, and light amounts (intensity, falloff, etc.) while it's lit, and it will be remembered (note: only some of these options will be remembered if you change a pumpkin with the HUD after setting anything, with the way it overwrites some things, so make your color selection first!  That was always the case before, but there are some other weirdnesses with the way it overwrites things with the way PBR works, more things are attached to the material instead of the object) when you turn it off and on again.

PBR and non PBR texture options, pick your preference with the HUD, fallback textures will change to match PBR choices for those not on PBR viewers.  As most (but not all!  Depends on what the thing is) of the time, PBR Metal and Roughness settings are also editable to some degree- you can make them a bit shinier (or less shiny) if that's your preference- I try to do as much adjustable in SL as I can, so it's as flexible as I can come up with so you don't have to like what I like!

You can also touch and hold for 5 seconds and set the access to only yourself as the owner, members of the active group the pumpkin is rezzed under, or everyone for who can turn them on and off on touch.

At Collabor88 until November 6.
